 Posted: 12/12/03 - 10:07 Post subject: what have you learned THIS week? add your own smilies
I've learned:
- Dunkin Donuts wheat bagels vary greatly in "graininess" from establishment to establishment 
- even this super overachiever is frightened at the prospect of taking 10 classes in a year 
- I love snow and am a great mood when it's on the ground 
- I hate when snow melts and it puts me in a bad mood 
- my former cow-orker got married in Vegas! 
- I am SOOO EXCITED to see some good RR friends and meet 2 new ones tomorrow in the greatest city in the world! 
Now. You. Go.

The best conversations never start with "Can we talk?" They happen by accident.
Keeping a detailed account of my time at work is not only an effective time management tool for me, but an effective weapon against anyone who calls my productivity on the carpet.
That Ranger G wants music for Crimmus.
That I still have no idea what my SON wants for Crimmus.

I've learned:
- taking 30 or so empty boxes out of the attic adds SO much room to said attic and makes me feel sooooo good!
- Will & his classmates think I'm a hero for bringing in a few dozen canned goods, which leads us to:
- You have to explain to the 7yo that it's not about a school contest but about giving to those less fortunate.
- Sociology is a rockin' class.
- Law & Ethics is going to kill my gpa.
- Putting up Christmas decorations the kids have made throughout the years is far better than anything store bought.
- I have snow envy.
- Hubby is off Sunday & Monday; we'll finally get our tree.
- I can listen to Bob & Tom in Charlotte!

Don't feel bad, Maddie....I still can't decide what I want for Crimmus... 
I learned:
- a venti skinny chai can still kill a bad mood in 2.2 seconds after the first sip goes down 
- I really, really can't wait to move to Madison 
- despite my griping about being too busy during school, I get way more done when I have less time to do it in and I hate having so much free time on my hands 
- I could happily eat pizza every day forevah
- my house looks awesome decorated for Christmas!
- my twin sis loves me enough to want me to be her maid of honor in her wedding on the beach in Florida! 
- my friends mean well, but enough with the "I've got this great guy I want you to meet" already! 
- and this MORNING, how could I forget....I learned that the sight of a mouse's butt sticking out of a trap can still make me  and wanna 
All in all a decent week. Bring on the weekend!!!!

I've learned:
- that your doctor can move to another state to practice medicine and not inform you about it. (Uh, what do I do with this blood sample?)
- that I'm still a procrastinating kind of guy when it comes to getting packages of cheer mailed out, knowing that surely death, destruction, and eternal damnation will soon visit me.
- that neatly trimmed and filed nails make playing a classical guitar much easier.
- that the accumulation of unread periodicals grows in proportion to the amount of time spent in front of the computer.

I've learned too late that I should have married Sue. Mrs. H would burn me at the stake if I tried to purchase another high dollar road bike.
